What a great day at Canada's Outdoor Farm Show on September 9!

I was so pleased to be able to represent The Do More Agriculture Foundation and connect with many vendors to share the work that Do More Agriculture is doing across Canada- championing the mental well-being of those in Canadian Agriculture.

Thanks for the opportunity to view the Deep Rooted documentary screening. I was glad to be there to offer any additional supports as needed. It was also great to meet Lucia in person from Do More Ag!

Hello Mental Health Colleagues across Canada!🇨🇦

Did you realize that in 2024, the whole Canadian agriculture and agri-food system:
Employed 2.3 million people
Provided 1 in 9 jobs in Canada

Producers (farmers and ranchers) are especially prone to mental health challenges such as:
-depression
-anxiety

I look forward to facilitating the free remote 4 hour AgCulture Workshop from The Do More Agriculture Foundation
to provide more information about the unique stressors that the Agriculture industry workers are experiencing and practical tools to use for Mental Health support.

Please also pass along to any Colleagues who may be interested in learning more about how to support our Agriculture industry with their mental health and wellness.

Are you a mental health professional working with—or interested in working with—farmers and rural clients?

It was such a special morning being able to spend time with the Huron Women's Shelter. There were so many excited faces when they met the beautiful Newfoundland Ponies at Poppy’s Haven!

Today we had the true pleasure of welcoming an incredible group of women & children from the Huron Women’s Shelter. It was a heartfelt experience to work together with Cartier/Dreamwinds EAL facilitators from Alberta & Ontario, and our dedicated volunteers, to deliver the programming. This is the work that feeds the soul. 🐴❤️
